Description
From the internet. We Were The Blues Spectrum (no label, US 1969) Among local late '60s US rock albums, this is one of the most buried titles. It's not in Collector Dreams, and only listed briefly elsewhere. Musically it's a pretty insane-sounding mix of Smokin' Willie basement hardrock and early big band rock a la CTA. The horns are used for riffs only, not solo, much like a Hammond B-3. Everything about this album is crude, with long frantic Hendrix feedback guitar leads on top.Only 1 cover version, the rest is band originals. One of my fave discoveries in the past year, but be prepared -- it ain't the Fredric.The teenage band photos are outstanding. The band leader has passed away and left no copies behind; it's a Rite pressing that was probably made in very small numbers." From the cover "The music was recorded live in the studio. There has been no over-dubbing or corrections. This is the way we want it. Greg. " From the vinyl, Mastering Rite Record Prod, DB, Stereo, 1476, 27198, 2.
Side one: 1 Moonchild, 2 Changes. Side two: 1 It Better end soon. 2 Sun Scare.
Please note: I do not collect records or sell many. I am not qualified to give an expert opinion of grade. What I see are a few noticeable scratches. Not a lot covering all surfaces from heavy wear and handling. But a few straight marks that can be felt. I have played the album (wild and different) and it does not skip or jump on my old Califone player. It might on your's. The blue label is bright and very clean. The cover is still under plastic wrap. It has pulled back at the opening edge with some discoloration and light soiling there. A very good example of a super scarce album.
